including complete log file, but the short version is that this is happening (under a fresh
FreeBSD 6.0 install):

device, quitting.

http://casper.ghostscript.com/~ghostgum/Error.htm#unable_initial_device
says that either the output file or the temp directory is invalid.
As far as I can tell the temporary directory is fine, though I could be
wrong about that too. 

I've had this printer working under CUPS before, and I can print to it
with a different driver from the same system (one that doesn't use
foomatic) and the SuSE setup to use this printer is dead simple.

Any idea what I screwed up?
